Matters needing attention in planting soft seed pomegranate

Soft seed pomegranate is a new variety of pomegranate, which is far more popular than pomegranate in the market. Soft seed pomegranate is stronger than ordinary pomegranate not only in appearance but also in taste, so it has higher economic value. So what problems do we need to pay attention to when planting soft seed pomegranate? Let's have a brief understanding of it.

1. Soil and fertilizer management

Soft seed pomegranate is suitable for planting in the land with soft soil, sufficient water source, sufficient light, good fertilizer and water retention. When planting, we usually do it through hole reclamation, and then add farm manure to each planting hole, and then put on a thin layer of soil, and then we can plant. Secondly, we should pay attention to that after planting, in order to promote the absorption and utilization of nutrients, we need to carry out two times of intertillage, and we also need to carry out appropriate topdressing, mainly in the way of extra-root furrow application.

2. Planting density

When planting, we should reasonably control the density of planting. Soft seed pomegranate is a relatively small fruit tree, so we can usually use high density planting, also known as intensive planting density, each mu can generally plant 110 fruit trees, each row spacing is three meters, plant spacing is two meters. Of course, there is also a planting density of three to four meters between rows and three meters between plants, which is also called extensive planting pattern. Then we need to adjust the planting density reasonably according to the planting mode, so that the resources can be maximized.

3. Tree management

Tree shape management is actually the pruning of branches and leaves of soft-seed pomegranate trees. We start pruning during the young period of the soft-seeded pomegranate tree, mainly to cultivate its shape and crown. After the crown of the young tree is formed, we need to reasonably regulate the density between the branches and make a reasonable allocation of the fruit branches. For pomegranate trees in fruiting period, we should pay more attention to the pruning of branches and leaves to enhance the permeability between branches, and the pruning of other branches and leaves is consistent with the pruning principles of other fruit trees.

4. Promoting flowers and protecting fruits

The work of promoting flowers and protecting fruits is a problem that we need to pay attention to in the process of planting. When the soft-seed pomegranate tree is just budding, we need to make a topdressing, which can promote the pomegranate blossom, prolong the flowering period and increase the fruit setting rate. Secondly, during this period of time, we also need to carry out reasonable flower thinning work. After the pomegranate fruit is set, we need to remove some pomegranate fruit properly and keep only the better growing fruit, so that the fruit is big and good. Finally, we had better spray an appropriate amount of drugs to prevent and cure fallen flowers, such as paclobutrazol, gibberellin, etc., the effect is very good.

These are the most common problems in the process of planting soft-seed pomegranate trees, and they are also the main problems that we need to pay attention to. Of course, when we plant, it is best to take measures to prevent and control frost injury and diseases and insect pests, which can greatly reduce the risk of planting.
